Held every year in Valletta, the Feast of St Paul's Shipwreck remembers the saint's miracles after he took refuge on the island. A procession carries his statue through the streets accompanied by marching bands and fireworks.

In 60 AD, St Paul, patron Saint of Malta, performed a number of miracles during his stay on the island, including the healing of Publius' father, the Roman governor. Tradition has it that when Publius became the first bishop of Malta, St Paul converted the Maltese to Christianity.
